My flight is scheduled to land at 7:15. What is the earliest tee time you think I can comfortably make if I go straight to the course from the airport?
At least 2 hours after landing. Time to : Pick up bags/clubs, get to car, go to bathroom, traffic
Now the good and bad.
Good.... You have a friend picking you up.
BAD ...... who knows what time you will truly land. Airlines are doing what ever they want. You may land at 7:30 but it may be PM.
I'd give myself 30 minutes from the airport to property. That's the number most people use. You can do your own math from there, although Narcoosee11 added a very important variable that no one these days knows the answer to. If you're shooting for one of the earlier tee-times, I wouldn't count on it.
Where are you flying from? How often are those flight delayed? What if you are late, do you still have to pay for the golf or can they just find a later tee time for you?
I would not plan on getting there in less than 1 1/2 hours form scheduled arrival time

ITA! Besides the fact that flight times are not too dependable, if you hurry, you risk pulling a muscle from rushing around. Your question sounds just like something my DH would have asked about 50 years ago.
